This version is a complete code overhaul including completely re-written back end PHP using Codeigniter MVC framework. In this version I’ve also made the switch from Prototype JS to jQuery which has been my library of choice in my professional work for the last years.

This overhaul has been an extremely long process and has convinced me that I am without a doubt the most difficult to please client. Although I’ve been involved in well over a dozen freelance projects so far this year, I am glad that the nearly 9 month process of brainstorming, trial an error, redesigns and coding for this project is now over.

Apart from the design  face lift, my Portfolio has been completely re-designed and programmed with some custom jQuery and Flickr API magic.

The Blog has also been reconfigured and is now considerably easier to navigate through than the previous version. I have a number of tech tutorials and random topics that I plan to write about over the next few days weeks months so make sure to subscribe to my RSS feed.
